All departments/units contain UniversityRecords, which should be organized and accessed and managed according the Generally AcceptedRecordkeeping Principles. The UW-Madison Records Officer is here to consult with all universitydepartments/units to improve the creation, distribution and use of university information in all formats.There are many components to a records management program that bring value to the UW-Madisoncampus besides development of Records Retention schedules. The Records Officer provides consultationin organization of records in electronic and paper formats, digital imaging, e-mail management, databasemanagement, taxonomy and filing systems to name a few. If any university record is created, then itneeds to be managed through its lifecycle, whether it is in e-mail, a document stored in a network shareddrive or paper. The University Records Officer has to be strategic yet tactical in the management of theprogram. In order to accomplish this, the University Records Officer relies on the Campus Record Reviewgroup to support and give direction to Records Management initiatives.For 2012 the Records Management highlights were: In 2012 UW-Records Management participated in the Quality Showcase with a poster titled: UWMadison Records Management: Electronic Communication Guidance for the Management of E-mail,Text and Chat Records.

Perceptive Software’s “Records Policy Manager” Application:Many units on campus are currently utilizing Perceptive Software’s ImageNow Content Managementapplication as part of their workflow and imaging of records. Digital records created by ImageNowshould be managed throughout their lifecycle through disposition. This currently has to beaccomplished manually. Records are being kept indefinitely due to the difficultly of manuallyimplementing the university’s record schedules in a consistent manner. The volume of informationbeing kept in the application is causing the system to slow down. The University now has a campuslicense for the complement application of “Retention Policy Manager”. A Student Records team isbeing put together by the University Records Officer and the ISIS Director to begin evaluation ofimplementation of the Retention Policy Manager.Records Management Communication and TrainingCommunication and Training are key components of the UW-Madison Records Management Program.For 2011-2012 Basic Records Management, E-mail Management and Document Imaging were populartopics for presentations.1.

Records Management and the Public Records Board/State Records CenterThe University Records Officer acts as the liaison between the Wisconsin Public Records Board and theState Records Center on the behalf of the University. The State Records Center has been auditing theirdatabase for record schedules that have sunset. The SRC provided Records Management with reports withan option for an 18 month extension. The University Records Officer has been reviewing these sunsetreports and has submitted the required extension of 18 months. Many of the university’s 1600 recordseries have sunset and are undergoing review.This is a huge undertaking for the Records Officer to identify which record series are active from those thatare not. Out of this review, the Records Officer identified 100 series in the summer of 2010 as belongingto University of Wisconsin Hospitals & Clinics. UWHC was reorganized as a separate public authority in1996. This transfer of around 100 records series back to UWHC was completed by January 2012.General Records Schedule for Retention and Disposition and RDA’s37 departmental records schedules (RDAs) were completed and submitted for approval.Records Disposition at the State Records CenterRecords disposition and retention at the State Records Center is another component of working with theState. The university offers offsite storage for paper records as a way to better utilize limited space indepartments and units on the campus. The Records Officer receives a Disposition Report twice a year insummer and winter.
